From Ambush: Microsoft has enabled tabbed browsing in IE6, although installation of the MSN Search Toolbar is required.

HardWareZone wandered around the ECS motherboard factory in China.

Symantec have an internet worm simulator program. The Worm Simulator is distributed with simulations of six actual worms: MyDoom, Netsky, Sasser, Slammer, Blaster, and SoBig.

EverythingUSB have a list of 45 USB-smart apps that might be handy to carry around on your thumbdrive.

SharkyExtreme have their monthly Extreme Gaming PC buyer's guide posted.

From Luke: BBC releases Beethoven mp3s as free download. Also, we are currently looking for Korean Adoptees placed in Australia.

ARP talked to DFI about their ATI CrossFire solution. Their new Crossfire motherboards boast, not only the ability to run two ATI graphics cards simultaneously, but also allows the user to do so WITHOUT the use of a signal-forwarding card.

CaseModGod have a new project, a PC that will give your kids nightmares. That's one way to stop them hogging it.

Timbot spotted an interesting article about different multiprocessor memory configurations in the Linux 2.6 kernel. Having previously tested 32-bit versions of our benchmarks on Opteron CPUs, we wanted to investigate the bounds on true 64-bit performance.

I still think there should be more examination of using an idle GPU for general PC computation, especially now we've got PCI Express available.

A pile of links from Arzosah: Microsoft to turn cracked Windows legal for USD1. Playstation 3 goes Blu-Ray as opposed to the other HD DVD disks... and runs LINUX! Matsushita (panasonic) releases Blu-Ray DVD drive for PCs. HD DVD and Blu-Ray merger. We're going to shoot a comet.
